What determines the depth render channel's values?

I thought it was the camera clipping plane, but that appears to not be it.

Ok, but what determines where the black degrades to white? But it's ok now, because I was render in 8bit PNG and couldn't get the information out of it. Once I switched to EXR, I can extract the entire depth colors out.
